These savory fried bread triangles make the ultimate appetizer with their crispy coating and vegetable cheese filling. The combination of potatoes, green onions, carrots, mozzarella, and seasonings makes these triangles tantalizing and full of flavor.
You need slices of bread to make the fried bread triangles; first, you remove the crusts and roll the bread out very thinly before filling them with sautéed vegetables and cheese. Then, they get breaded before being fried until they are golden and crisp.
What are Fried Bread Triangles?
These fried bread triangles are made with sandwich bread that is filled with a vegetable and cheese filling before being breaded and fried. Using bread is so much easier than making your own pastry dough, making this an incredibly easy appetizer to pull up on a whim. The filling comprises potatoes, carrots, green onions, garlic, onion, and mozzarella, which are common household ingredients and offer an abundance of flavor.
Pro Tips
- Trim the crusts from the bread, but rather than throwing them away, you can blend them into breadcrumbs to use in other dishes.
- Don’t overcook the vegetable filling. The vegetables should be tender but you don’t want them to become so soft that they become mush when they are stuffed into the bread and fried.
- Make sure you allow the triangles to freeze for at least 10 minutes before you fry them. This will help the triangles hold together during the frying process.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the bread triangles from the hot oil when they are golden brown and crisp.
